Previously we were exposed to Maori culture in the Cook Islands. Here we got to see a bit more of their tools rather than how they live today. These are all types of fish hooks or tools used to make the hooks.
When the Maori arrived in New Zealand there were no land based predators but some very large birds called Moa which they hunted to extinction.
There were many examples of the types of carvings these people made. The large eyes, open mouth and exposed tongue are to ward off bad spirits. They used polished shells for some of the eyes.
